My problem with Scott Snyder's writing from METAL to now is that he has all these big cosmic ideas - but nothing gets time to land. It's just boom, off to the next mythos-defining concept. Barbatos, The Four Brothers, The tribe of the Hawk, The stuff happening now w/ "The Seven Energies" and "The Totality".

I don't feel like I really got to know Barbatos or The Four Brothers, for example. I'd like to see a concept introduced and then spend months showing me how it really has affected the DCU since the dawn of time. I feel like The 7 Energies/Totality will be the next thing never explained.
Haven't read #6 yet, but agree with METAL and No Justice..... just "too big" with not a lot of breathing room to focus on the characters..... Snyder's run on Batman was great, but he always focused on the characters more than "big ideas" (which he still had, but did alot with the characters still).
